Audi uses oddball sized Orings in the hydraulic system.  Worth a try
getting them from the dealer, they're cheap enough.  You might also try
cleaning the area of the leak with brake cleaner or something, then watch
it closely when the car is running, sometimes the leak can be at the
fitting or the hose, or even the X caps and appear to be coming from the
banjo bolt/hose.  BTDT on the 5KS, a bad Oring under one of the Xcaps was
leaking upwards (capillary action??) and looked like it was coming from
the hose.
